My great grandfather's name was Robert Winfield Bateman like my fathers. Does anyone know of a connection. I am trying to find my family line and have hit a dead end, Iknow that my gr.grandfather was born in Canada and his parents were from Ireland according to a 1860 census in Kansas. Thank you, Sincerly, Cheryl Bateman
